How To Fix SIG520 - User &1 can no longer cancel the signature process

SIG520 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SIG - Digital Signature

• Message number: 520

• Message text: User &1 can no longer cancel the signature process

What causes this issue?

When a signature process is canceled, the system performs the same
checks as when a signature is executed. For this reason, you can only
cancel a signature process if the
<DS:GLOS.355505D303F54808E10000009B38F982>signature strategy</>
specifies that you are authorized to execute the next
<DS:GLOS.355505ED03F54808E10000009B38F982>individual signature</>.
Every user may only execute one signature in a signature process. You
have already executed a signature in this signature process and for
this reason, you are no longer authorized to cancel the signature
process.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
